In the eastern sector, as reported by The Indian Express, Army units in Sikkim have already been staged forward as they undertake their Operational Alert this month which has been advanced from October. No movement of troops has, however, taken place in Ladakh, the other major area where India and China share a disputed border.

As China’s belligerent rhetoric continues over the ongoing military standoff at Doklam, the Indian Army has put its units in Arunachal Pradesh on a higher alert, staging some troops in the state ahead of their usual locations but still short of the Chinese border.

Sources told The Indian Express that, as a precautionary measure, many units of the Dimpaur-headquartered 3 Corps and Tezpur-headquartered

4 Corps have been placed on “higher alert in a No War No Peace mode”. Sources stressed that these measures are not linked to any major build-up of Chinese military in Tibet which would indicate a serious threat. There has been no major movement of Chinese military observed by the Indian side so far.

In the eastern sector, as reported by The Indian Express, Army units in Sikkim have already been staged forward as they undertake their Operational Alert this month which has been advanced from October. No movement of troops has, however, taken place in Ladakh, the other major area where India and China share a disputed border.

The two Corps in Arunachal were put on a higher alert at the beginning of this month when nearly 24,000 soldiers were asked to stage forward from their usual locations in a “trickle down fashion”. Caution has been exercised by the Army to ensure that no major convoys of military trucks are used for this movement which could be misread by the Chinese as a sign of escalation. Moreover, these soldiers have not yet been moved to higher altitudes, above 9000 feet, which would require acclimatisation as it could send a wrong signal to the Chinese.

Among the major units being staged forward are the artillery regiments, whose essential operational stores excluding the guns, have been staged forward by nearly 70-80 km. These units are otherwise located around 150 km from China border which makes the transportation of these stores a logistical challenge in the mountainous terrain.

The movement of these soldiers and stores has been necessitated by the difference in infrastructure on the Indian and the Chinese side. In case of a military escalation, an extensive network of Chinese roads and tracks will allow the Chinese army to push its soldiers and stores in a matter of few days. The Indian side would, however, need much greater time to mobilise its troops and stores to the border. This state of higher alert, particularly in case of logistics and supply-chain dependent artillery units, would allow India to bridge that gap significantly and reduce the operational disadvantage.

Sources said that the standoff site at Doklam plateau has been experiencing heavy rains, with temperatures falling to 5 degrees Celsius. Nearly 350 Indian soldiers continue to face-off around 300 Chinese soldiers since June 18, when they stopped the Chinese from constructing a motorable road to Jampheri Ridge inside Bhutanese territory.

Meanwhile, Chinese embassy officials in Delhi met their US counterparts today and, sources said, they reiterated their position that India had been informed of the road construction in advance. The Americans, on their part, underlined India’s importance to the US foreign policy.

Last few days, this 5 Cent spammer is amok with it's BS and all nonsensical motormouth activities on Indian media. Well, everybody knows that due to impending reselection and to divert the atenxn of mainland Zhōngguó (China in Mandarin, which means Central Area or something place) residents. After the unilateral culpable murder of Nobel Peace Laureate Liu Xiaobo and forceful disappearance of Late Liu Xiaobo's widow by CPC thugs- wants to divert attention of it's cons uents. Day by day urge for democracy is getting momentum in Zhōngguó (PR China), so manufacturing a dictatorial nationalism and jingoism communist thugs wants to remain in power. For more insight Hong Kong Free Press, one can follow instead of recently Princelings (read third generation billionaires of the Maoist leaders, devoid of Communist Party ideals but money only) bought South China Morning Post (it was independent once). No newspaper, TV show, SN or communication platforms are free from CPC in Zhōngguó btw

Rajya don't make more free show of your Mandarin -English translations to go beyond of your cognition. Stupid 5 cent CPC mouthpiece spammer in Indian free media. There is nothing called Chinese or China before Qin dynasty - you fool parroted oxymoronic zombie of Mainland Zhōngguó. Same as Indian. There is no particular Indian language as common so does to Chinese. You can fool around with your deceptionists tactics to equally stupid majority of mainland BEMARU states of India. Ain't Cantonese, Haka, Manchu and all different languages in Mandarin versions are different as Dutch between Deutsche ? For Indians, like Bengali and Sinhala or Marathi? Despite the same root and amalgamation of Tadbhav with Tatsama words in Southern Indian languages. Problem is your CPC and not Han bros and sisters. More Han people are victims of CPC collective dictatorship regime than even Kuomintang-then. Okay, Indians are not fully aware of these, but Hong Kong or Formosan or a diaspora Han .
